Summary:An optical scanning device for scanning optical record carriers with radiation of a selected wavelength, the device including an objective lens, having an axial direction and a radial direction, and a phase structure which is non-periodic with respect to the radial direction, the non-periodic phase structure being arranged to compensate for comatic aberrations generated in the objective lens when an optical record carrier is read in a direction which is non-axial with respect to said objective lens, whereby an improved field of view is provided for said objective lens.
